I met Gary Stefen at Dwell on Design and really liked his work.


I thought you might like to learn more about him.

Gary Stefen Silverston is sensitive in understanding the delicate nature of building ones home. It is all about collaboration. Whether this is your first house or your twenty-first house or your primary residence or a vacation home, Gary knows that each house is entirely unique to his client. He sees each project through the eyes of his clients. His projects evoke the client’s particular sensibilities, not just visually but emotionally. His projects reflect not only where a client is today but where they are going. The proper environment can create a profound future. He is deeply committed to the notion of “green” utilizing all technologies the project or client will permit.
Biography
Gary worked with his father brainstorming, designing, and building projects throughout his childhood and into his adulthood. As a young carpenter, Gary immersed himself in the building world. Initially in Colorado, his work brought him to California where his natural creative proclivities mingled with practical experience to form a remarkably original art of his own.
Gary readily navigates complexities in the building world, producing entirely 21st century homes, created of the finest quality components. His lifetime devotion to architecture and construction has facilitated in him an imaginative style that communicates itself the minute you walk into a room. Highly respected and with access to immense inventive resources, Stefen’s homes are in high demand for the most unique home building requirements. His three dimensional mindset allows him to craft and reflect the mind’s eye of his clients, creating chic and livable environments.

I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
